Millennials Share 30 Things That Today’s Kids Have No Clue About, And They’ll Probably Make You Feel Ancient
Warning: the post below is likely to make you feel ancient. Like, fossil ancient. Read on at your own risk of burying hopes to stay a kid forever. Let this be a farewell to our inner Kevin McCallisters, since the last time we were home alone was two kids, a mortgage, and an infinite amount of Zoom meetings ago.
And my fellow millennials, things like burning CDs and MTV’s Pimp My Ride were things we proudly grew up with. But these days, Gen Zs clearly don’t know what floppy disks are for, or what hanging up the phone actually refers to… damn, everyone, are we really closer to boomers than we’d ever like to be?
In case you feel nostalgic towards more stuff from the millennial-approved childhood, make sure to check out our previous posts here and here.

the only thing that could be paused was a VHS or Betamax video and then you ran the risk of the tape snapping.
A file takes 17 hours to download is sure an "home work" file... A young mind's dreams collapsed at %96 percent that day!
I used to love that show but now I see it and cringe. The acting is soooo bad.
I remember having to sit next to the radio with a blank tape and just listen. Hopefully the DJ would play your request soon so you could put together the perfect mix tape. And you were screwed if you had to go to the bathroom. You'd sometimes miss the whole first verse but you would still record it because you didn't want to wait a whole other day for it to come back around.
these needed carefully placing on a completely level surface and not moved a mm whilst playing. As portable as water in a sieve.
Works for me and the people who watches this video boy... Just keep trying...
given that hippies are from the 60's and the first gen Z was born 95-ish. it's already quite a substantial gap
Anyone remember Oregon Trail being as close as we got to social media? You'd come across a tombstone and it'd be your older brother or a classmate or something.
Feels weird when I’m born in 2005 and know about 28 of the 30 things they are talking about. I have burned my own songs on to cds used cassette to watch my favorite movie, and at least know the uses for all these other things. Also I’m shocked how little things people my age know about.
Same! I thought people were more knowledgeable about this sort of thing, but I guess I was wrong
